The 2013-W 1/10 oz Proof American Gold Eagle PF-70 UCAM NGC (Early Releases) is a premium certified collector coin produced by the United States Mint at West Point, identified by the “W” mint mark. Struck from .9167 fine (22-karat) gold, the coin contains 1/10 troy ounce of gold and carries a $5 USD legal tender face value, guaranteed by the U.S. government for weight and purity.
This coin is graded PF-70 Ultra Cameo (UCAM) by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Company), the highest possible proof grade. A PF-70 grade indicates a flawless coin with no visible imperfections under magnification, while the Ultra Cameo designation highlights the strong contrast between the coin’s mirror-like fields and frosted design elements.
The Early Releases (ER) designation signifies that the coin was received by NGC for grading within the first 30 days of its release from the U.S. Mint, adding additional appeal for collectors seeking early-issued certified coins.
The obverse features the iconic Lady Liberty design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, depicting Liberty walking forward with a torch and olive branch as symbols of enlightenment and freedom.
The reverse showcases the classic Type 1 eagle family design by Miley Busiek, showing a male bald eagle carrying an olive branch flying above a nest with a female eagle and hatchlings.
With its perfect PF-70 Ultra Cameo certification, Early Releases designation, and elegant proof finish, the 2013-W 1/10 oz Proof Gold Eagle PF-70 NGC is an outstanding addition for both precious-metal investors and serious coin collectors.
